Nottingham Forest remain deep in relegation trouble with just seven games of the Premier League season left.
The Reds currently sit in the bottom three on goal difference having failed to win any of their last ten matches since beating Leeds 1-0 at the City Ground back in February. They next face a daunting trip to a Liverpool team who have only lost once at home in the league all season.
On the latest Garibaldi Red podcast, Forest fans Darren Fletcher, Emily Anderson and Mikey Clarke discussed the future of Reds boss Steve Cooper.

Emily, a BBC East Midlands Today presenter, said: "I'm very much a 'Cooper in' camp for the main reason being he has got an awful lot of credit in the bank for giving us the best year in our recent history by getting us into the Premier League.
"He's almost shot himself in the foot by getting us into the Premier League too early. If we had finished mid-table in the Championship last season having been bottom after seven games, we would have all said 'wow, he's done a great job hasn't he, let's push for the Premier League next year'. The atmosphere in the ground (on Sunday) did not feel like one of a side in a relegation battle. We were loud, supportive and singing Cooper's name.
"If you had told me when I was sat in my seat at Wembley in May that we would be in this position now, I'd be thrilled. We obviously need to get some wins together, our goal difference is terrible so we just need to forget about that. Everton and Leeds have not got an easy run in either, we've just got to keep going. Even if it goes to the last game against Palace and Awoniyi shins it in, in the 94th minute, I'll take that."
Mikey was less optimistic and leaned towards a change of manager. He said: "I probably would make a change but I would want to make sure we got the right person. I would only make the change if the person and his people give us a better chance of staying up.
"I'm still emotional about Sunday's game, we lost again. We've not won for 10 games, three points in 30, it is relegation material and questions need to be asked. I guess I would be verging on that but if someone was available right now who I thought 'yes, get that person in because they are the people to keep us up and more importantly they can get us going for next season' I'd make the change."
But BT Sport commentator Darren Fletcher is not so sure that replacing Cooper would have the desired impact, comparing it to the situation of Sean Dyche's arrival at Everton during the season. He said: "If Sean Dyche was available, I would think there would be a number of Forest fans, who would say 'he'd keep us up'.
"If you throw to Everton and the impact he's had since he's been there, they've got the same number of points at this stage as Forest have and he's won a couple of games at home but that's not translated to them pulling away. I think if you looked at a candidate he would be the one you would look at but I think the example is that when he goes in it does not always translate."
